Not yet. I doubt it's going to change much from the global at this point, which is:
80+ years old 14.8% 70-79 years old 8.0% 60-69 years old 3.6% 50-59 years old 1.3% 40-49 years old 0.4% 30-39 years old 0.2% 20-29 years old 0.2% 10-19 years old 0.2% 0-9 years old no fatalities These are percentage chance of dying if infected, by the way. |

Wait so Fauci is now against a national lockdown? That's a change from yesterday:

The idea that we're "Two weeks behind" Italy doesn't really jibe with most of the curves we've seen or the likely number of infections we have given our relatively poor testing criteria thus far. But there are a lot of fairly key indicators that suggest we're maybe 3-5 days behind. By Friday I think we'll know a ton. Either healthcare situations in critical areas will be deep in collapse and critical cases/mortalities will skyrocket, or we'll know that something is causing different outcomes here than took place in Northern Italy. Like I said - there are even some studies that will say we're FAR ahead of Italy on the critical case timelines. One way or the other, we're approaching nut-cutting time. I still firmly believe that the US isn't as well equipped as many nations to address various relatively benign maladies, I think we're better equipped than most if not all to address serious shit (as supported by the number of people that are sent here for precisely that). I believe our surge capacity is in many ways understated because it's never been tested. I dunno man - maybe I'm a relic but I still have some faith in this country. I can't help but think of good ol' Ed Harris as Gene Kranz: Maybe so many other people are right. Maybe the USA is just damn ordinary and well on our way to catastrophe. But I do think we'll know a lot more by Saturday and I remain hopeful. |

If we're being macabre here, then I'd be putting money on something not even directly related to the virus being the tipping point that turns everything into a shitshow. |
